The company also announced its new FARGO HDP5600 ID Card Printer/Encoder that builds upon its award-winning high definition printing (HDP) solutions for retail stores, recreation facilities, governments and other organizations focused on brand image and/or visual security.

HID Global’s eco-friendly DTC5500LMX ID card personalization solution includes the company’s ‘wasteless’ lamination technology that significantly lowers card issuance costs. The new feature enables cost-conscious organizations to routinely issue secure, durable cards in high volumes without sacrificing quality.

Features of DTC5500LMX are listed below:

Innovative wasteless lamination technology completely eliminates traditional carrier-film waste, offering a 40 percent savings in consumables costs.

World’s first Green Circle certified wasteless lamination printer with 60 percent savings in energy consumption.

New iON TM technology allows printer/laminator to heat up and initiate lamination in just 45 seconds, saving users up to 80 percent of the time typically needed to print the first card.

Rugged, durable and robust construction that withstands the harshest environments, providing the highest card protection and warranty in the industry.

The new FARGO HDP5600 ID Card Printer/Encoder delivers good quality for image and text printing. With its new 600 dpi printing capabilities, the HDP5600 doubles the resolution of its HDP5000 predecessor for crisply defined barcodes and accurately reproduces small text including complex characters, such as Kanji, Arabic and Cyrillic.
